Sure. But you have to look at the bright side. As of now, the app thing is going to be a standard way of managing SBs. And maybe a future generation of SB players will build on that assumption. So in time plenty of normal people will be enticed to use an app, and not only the nerds or smartphone maniacs. When there is no competition, there is no market. Logi just has acknowledged there is one, and this must be good.
Now the question is how to make casual users see they can get more from a better app ? Maybe "lite" versions or free trials ? A server plugin that helps users discover the apps in the various stores ? Also, I certainly do not want to dismiss Logitech's effort here; but their app has clearly its limits, and the competition has a lot to go for itself. I just tried the app on my iPad (v1). It is still fast enough (as for iPhone 4, I say fast, not "fluid"), but the UI is quite boring on the big screen. Again, I am comparing with iPeng for iPad. -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB Classic, 1 SB Boom iPeng (iPhone + iPad) SqueezeCenter 7.4.2 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: MusicIP Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) FindArt by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat by Erland Isaksson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87212
